Aunt Lorraine was like my second grandmother, she was kind, funny, nurturing and she would spoil my sister and i whenever we visited her, teaching us both how to play Bocce Ball. She always put others before herself, and always helped when she could. Love you Aunt Lorraine. I know your in a better place now, up there in heaven with Nanny . all my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear John, Donna, George, Lorna, Tim and family

Thinking of all of you during this sad time. I loved your mom, her sense of humour and her strong will to take on many new challenges and ventures throughout her life-with much success!
It is very difficult to say good-bye to our mothers, I hope it will give you peace to know that Lorraine will live on in your memories and through you Donna and ou Lorna.
Love Dannette and Dave, Tara and Sean

So glad Lorraine was able to fulfill her dreams of returning to live in Newfoundland. Each time I spoke with her she was sure to confirm how happy she was to be ‘back home’.
Lorraine was such a good friend and I’m very lucky to have had her in my life.
Heartfelt sympathy to each person who knew and loved her.
Miss you more than words can say, girl!
